Peri-mortem evaluation of infants who die without a diagnosis: focus on advances in genomic technology.
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Infants who die within the first weeks to months of life may have genetic disorders, though many die without a confirmed diagnosis. Non-genetic conditions may also be responsible for unexplained infant deaths, and the diagnosis may be reliant upon studies performed in the peri-mortem period. Neonatologists, obstetricians, or pediatricians caring for these children and their families may be unsure of which investigations can and should be performed in the setting of a newborn or infant who is dying or has died. Recent advances in genomic sequencing technology may provide additional diagnostic options, though the interpretation of genetic variants discovered by this technique may be contingent upon clinical phenotype information that is obtained peri-mortem or upon autopsy. We have reviewed the current literature concerning the evaluation of an unexplained neonatal or infantile demise and synthesized a diagnostic approach, with a focus on the contribution of new and emerging genomic technologies.
